Specialist; application for recognition of a specialist designation.
If you have completed further medical training in accordance with the requirements of the further training regulations for physicians in Bavaria, you can apply for recognition of a specialist designation.
Description
If you have completed further medical training in a defined medical field after obtaining your license to practice medicine, you can apply for recognition of a specialist title. This is based on the current version of the further training regulations for physicians in Bavaria.
The Bavarian Medical Association (Bayerische Landesärztekammer) checks whether all requirements of the further training regulations have been met and decides on admission to the specialist examination.
Prerequisites
- Membership in a medical district association in Bavaria
- Medical license
- Fulfillment of the requirements of the continuing education regulations for the implementation, duration and content of continuing education

The application for recognition of a specialist title must be submitted online via the "Meine-BLÄK-Portal". The application completed online must be printed out and signed and submitted to the Bavarian Medical Association together with the required documents.
Deadlines
When submitting an application, the transitional provisions set forth in the continuing education regulations for use of the previous continuing education regulations must be observed, if applicable.
Processing time
Applications are processed according to the date of receipt. The processing time depends on the completeness of the documents and can therefore vary greatly from person to person. However, once the complete documents have been received, the legal requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act apply.
